The Atlantis® Re-use System has proven effective in providing a regular clean water supply for domestic and commercial applications.
How It Works!
The system captures water from both landscaped areas through surface infiltration and from roof areas which are filtered through an Atlantis® Filtration Unit. Clean water is retained within the storage area away from harmful U.V. light and heat remaining cool underground readily available for re-use.
Applications
Typical applications include flushing toilets, in washing machines, watering gardens and washing cars.
Case Study: Rainwater harvesting for a government facility in Amberley, QLD - Australia
In Amberley is one of the largest base facilities in Australia. The redevelopment works are valued at AU$331.5 million. New construction and refurbishment works to be undertaken include new living-in accommodation, maintenance facilities, storage, working and training accommodation, a combined mess and a new physical fitness centre.
The site is owned by anAustralian Government Department. The Atlantis Turf Cell® was supplied by Atlantis and was installed by Kennedy Projects Group in April 2009. The system is located at the playing fields on the south-western corner ofGannet St and Rosewood Road, Amberley, QLD. ,
A vegetated swale surrounds the playing field. The swale is an open, shallow channel designed to slow runoff, filter it, and promote infiltration into the ground. Excess water moving through the soil profile is captured by Atlantis Single Flo-Tank®. The use of a swale to collected water results in smaller runoff volumes, lower peak discharge rates and cleaner runoff.The vegetation in swales, usually thick grass, helps to trap pollutants such as suspended solids and trace metals. The AtlantisMatrix modules extend 3m (10ft)wide under the swale for 110m (360ft).
Water collected by the swale is collected in a stormwater harvesting tank located adjacent to the north-western corner of the playing field. Perforated corrugated plastic pipes used as subsurface drainage pipes extend for 1560m (5110ft) is also collected by the stormwater harvesting tank.
The stormwater harvesting tank is located subsurface and is constructed of a heavy duty low density polyethylene liner and non woven geotextile surrounding Atlantis Double Flo-Tank®. The Atlantis stormwater tank has a4,100m³ (144,80 ft³)capacity. Water collected by the swale and stormwater tank system is used for irrigation of the sports field.
The Atlantis stormwater tank has eight (8) cleanout / inspection ports placed through the systems.A1200mm (4ft) dia. wet well with bolt down lids has been installed adjacent to the tank serves as a pump out pit. The overflow from the tank has a 15m (50ft)long x 400mm (1.3ft) deep spill way with scour protection into an adjacent creek.
